Blue Banana: The Home of Alternative Fashion

The story of Blue Banana has simple beginnings. From 1997 we have sold an awesome range of body jewellery and novelty gifts. Blue Banana has always tried to provide things which are not readily available in mainstream stores, we’re proud to say this is still the plan after all these years.

For a seriously long time Blue Banana has been the place to go for emo clothing, scene styles, punk clothes and gothic attire. Over time the names and trends have changed but we keep a keen eye on alternative fashion and listen to you, our friends, about the most amazing stuff to stock. Our range of skinny jeans is forever growing, it’s a popular style so we’d like everyone to have a colour to suit them. The range of brands we carry is forever changing, but some of the best and most long standing favourites here at Blue Banana are Atticus, Famous Stars and Straps Clothing, Criminal Damage Clothing, Poizen Industries, Lowlife, Iron Fist, Dickies, Vans, Converse, and Osiris.

Quality Band Merchandise and Emo Clothing Brands

Being involved with alternative styles cannot be separated from the music which inspires it. From new bands we promote to the bands that thousands of you love, we’re always trying to stock the right combination of music genres to keep all our friends happy and covered in band merchandise. We’ve recently added an iTunes store to the site, so we can be the only destination for everything you care about. Festivals are such an awesome musical experience that we have decided we need to get involved! From the festival guides on our website to all the festival gear you could need Blue Banana is the place to look.

We're Not Just Online Either...

For your convenience Blue Banana has two sides to the company; for those of you who love the shopping atmosphere we have 12 stores across the UK (see our Blue Banana Stores) and for those who like the comfort of their living room, we have a great online store too. In our stores, it’s like normal shopping but better, with alternative music playing and friendly staff you can choose your latest new clothes and accessories surrounded by people who know the fashion. Stores also provide piercings, some have tattoo facilities and we try to have in store band signings whenever we can capture some of those elusive creatures – musicians.

Online we have a massive selection, with a warehouse in Cornwall and a web team to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. We’re always providing discounts so you can load up on the latest gothic, punk and emo fashions for less of your hard earned pennies. We have almost constant competitions for our website posted to Facebook and Twitter so be our friend – you know you want to! If you have any questions and you’ve surfed our website, including our piercing guide, you can always send an email to info@bluebanana.com.
